Monday: Game Day
Mondays in Afternoons begin with homework and snack time. For students who do not have homework there are several fun options! On Game Day, students can choose from board games, Legos, puzzles, coloring pages, and word searches. The supplied games are structured to foster cooperation, interaction, logical thinking, problem solving, and imagination. Students have fun playing and working together. When the weather is nice we venture outside for some fun creative play.
Tuesday: Arts & Crafts Day
Tuesdays are arts and crafts day. Students begin with homework and snack time. When completed, they move on to a structured art activity and get to personalize their projects to reflect their own creativity and imagination. On Tuesdays we also have Legos and Coloring Center time available and when the weather is nice we head outdoors for some fun creative playtime.
Wednesday: Movie and Laptop Day
Wednesdays begin with homework, snack time and open Coloring Centers. We then head off to Bell Hall where grades PreK-2nd have a choice to relax with a movie or a book. Students get to take off their shoes and spread out on the rug. Our 3rd-6th graders also have the choice of a movie or book when their homework is finished, or they can choose to go to the Laptop Center. At the Laptop Center we offer students a choice of several problem solving educational games. Students team up to play these games and have adult guidance when needed. If the sun is shining we will also head outside for some fresh air playtime.
Thursdays: Technology & Library Time
On Thursdays after homework and snack time, you will find us in the Gresh Center. Students have a choice of storytime, reading, social time with their friends, and technology time in the computer lab. Afternoons has a set list of websites that are safe and fun for our students. Teachers help and monitor students on computers showing them how to play new games and explore new and exciting websites. Weather permitting we head outside for some fun in the sun!
Friday: Active Play Outside and in Gym
Fridays are our Gym Day. Lower Schoolers usually don’t have homework on Fridays so we jump start our activities with a snack and playground time. We then head off to the Gym where students are able to run around and play with the various sports equipment. They shoot hoops, jump rope, play ball, tag, and get tired out! Parents will often pick up sweaty kids ready for a bath and a weekend at home. On Fridays students should come to Afternoons with their sneakers!
